Detailed Description

LXDE is a new project aimed to provide a new desktop environment which is lightweight and fast. It's not designed to be powerful and bloated, but to be usable and slim enough, and keep the resource usage low. It consists of

Openbox: Lightweight, standard-compliant, and highly-configurable window manager. This can be replaced by any other window manager like icewm, fluxbox, metacity, ...etc. (in Fedora, maintained by Miroslav Lichvar)

Dependencies

Contingency Plan

Not needed: All packages are independent of each other. If we don't get lxde-common into Fedora 10 it will do absolutely no harm to the rest of the packages, they will work in other desktop environments just fine.

Documentation

lxde-common contains manpages for all LXDE components, so there is not much we need to care about.
